Food Scene
Black Sheep Restaurant
For meatlovers!
One of our favourite restaurants in Cape Town and it's really close by! Book before you go, and try and sit outside on a sunny day, and stare at the mountain...

For foodies! Everything and more under one roof. A little bit expensive but everything in here is a treat so it's justified.

The closest - and best - sushi spot in town. Run by one of the original sushi chefs of Cape Town. Serves sushi, sashimi and tempura in a very cool setting.

El Burro Greenpoint
As 'authentically Mexican' as you're going to get in Africa!
Hip little eating spot just down the road. Definitely worth a visit; two seatings at 6.30 - 8.30 and 8.30 onwards.

Drinks & Nightlife
Live music and cold beer, lots of students and 'overseas' visitors. Crawling distance.
Rafiki's Bar Restaurant

On second thought: this might be the closest bar. Lots of interesting people meet here after work and into the night.

Arts & Culture
The current 'it' club in Cape Town. A wide range of music, two separate floors, lots of space to move, and interesting, different crowds every night.

Parks & Nature
Known as 'the dog park' to locals this is where everyone takes their dog for a walk (and a swim!). Good for picnics, or taking kids to the play-park.
